Meet Dr Caitlin Gill – Osteopath, Pilates Instructor & Local Movement Nerd
Dr Caitlin Gill (Osteopath) is the founder of Mount + Valley Osteo and the heart of the clinic.
Caitlin completed a Bachelor of Clinical Science and Master of Osteopathy at Victoria University in 2018, after falling in love with osteopathy as a teenager when her own family regularly sought care with a local osteopath. (Osteopathic Clinic in Altona) That early experience sparked a long-term fascination with how hands-on treatment, education and exercise can help people stay active through all stages of life.
Over the past several years, Caitlin has worked in busy private practices across Melbourne – including The Osteopathic Clinic in Altona and Chadstone Region Osteopathy’s Carnegie and Oakleigh clinics – where she has become highly sought-after for her thorough, down-to-earth care and ability to help people get back to what they love. (Chadstone Region Osteopathy)
Her qualifications and additional training include:
Master of Osteopathy – Victoria University (Chadstone Region Osteopathy)
Clinical Pilates training
Certificate in Personal Training
Further study in chronic pain management, tendinopathy treatment, pregnancy and post-natal care, and sports injury management (Chadstone Region Osteopathy)
This blend of manual therapy and movement expertise is exactly what Mount + Valley Osteo is designed to offer the Mount Evelyn community.
What Does Caitlin Treat?
Caitlin’s clinical interests span many of the issues commonly seen in active families and outdoor-loving communities like Mt Evelyn:
Back pain (acute and chronic)
Neck pain and postural discomfort
Headaches and migraines (Chadstone Region Osteopathy)
Pregnancy-related pain and post-natal recovery (Chadstone Region Osteopathy)
Inflammatory conditions, such as rheumatoid arthritis and lupus (Chadstone Region Osteopathy)
Sports injuries and return-to-sport rehab – from weekend hikers and runners to local netballers and junior footy players (Chadstone Region Osteopathy)
Persistent or chronic pain that hasn’t improved with short-term, passive care alone (Chadstone Region Osteopathy)
Her treatment style is hands-on and movement-focused. A typical session may include:
Gentle hands-on osteopathic techniques (soft tissue, joint mobilisation, stretching) (Osteopathic Clinic in Altona)
Education about what’s happening in your body – in plain language
Reformer-based Clinical Pilates or gym-style strengthening exercises
A clear plan and home program so you know exactly what to do between appointments (Chadstone Region Osteopathy)
Why Osteopathy + Clinical Pilates Works So Well Together
Mount + Valley Osteo is built around the idea that most people need more than just a quick “once-off” treatment to feel their best long-term.
Caitlin’s background as a Pilates Instructor and Personal Trainer, combined with her osteopathic training, means she is uniquely placed to guide you from pain relief through to progressive strengthening and resilience. (Chadstone Region Osteopathy)
At Mount + Valley Osteo, your Clinical Pilates program will:
Be 1:1 and tailored specifically to you – no generic group class where you’re left guessing
Use a Pilates reformer and other equipment to find the right level of support and challenge
Progress over time as your confidence, strength and mobility improve
Minimise flare-ups by respecting your current capacity while still nudging you forward (Chadstone Region Osteopathy)
This approach is particularly helpful if you:
Are returning to exercise after injury or illness
Live with chronic pain and feel nervous about “overdoing it”
Want safe, specific guidance during pregnancy or after birth
Are juggling a busy life, kids, work and want your movement time to actually count
Supporting Pregnancy & Post-Natal Recovery in the Dandenong Ranges
Pregnancy and early parenthood are physically demanding seasons, especially if you’re carrying toddlers up hills, baby-wearing on walks, or spending more time than you’d like in awkward feeding positions.
Caitlin has completed extra training in pregnancy and post-natal care and loves supporting people through this stage – from managing pelvic girdle pain and lower back discomfort to safely rebuilding core, pelvic floor and whole-body strength after birth. (Chadstone Region Osteopathy)
At Mount + Valley Osteo, pregnancy and post-natal appointments may include:
Hands-on treatment to ease pain and stiffness
Education around positioning, pacing and safe activity levels
Reformer-based Clinical Pilates or floor exercises tailored to your trimester or post-partum stage
A gradual, realistic plan to help you return to the activities you enjoy – whether that’s bushwalking, running, yoga or simply playing comfortably with your kids
A Local Clinic for a Local Community
Mount Evelyn is known as a leafy gateway between the Dandenong Ranges and the Yarra Valley – popular with walkers, cyclists and families who love being outdoors. (Visit Yarra Valley & Dandenong Ranges) With trails like the Mt Evelyn Aqueduct Trail and Olinda Creek tracks plus easy access to wineries and farm-gates, it’s a place where active living is part of everyday life. (Visit Victoria home)
Mount + Valley Osteo has been created to support that lifestyle.
The clinic is ideal if you:
Live locally in Mt Evelyn, Lilydale, Montrose, Wandin North, Seville, Coldstream, Yarra Glen, Healesville or Monbulk (Form and Practice)
Regularly use nearby walking tracks, bike trails or sporting grounds
Work in physically demanding roles (tradies, early childhood, hospitality, healthcare)
Just want a health professional who understands both pain science and real-life demands like family, work and weekends away in the Valley
What to Expect at Your First Appointment
When you book with Caitlin at Mount + Valley Osteo, your first session will generally include:
A thorough history – your symptoms, general health, work, hobbies and goals
Physical assessment, including movement, strength and relevant neurological or orthopaedic tests
Clear explanation of what’s likely going on and how best to manage it
Hands-on osteopathic treatment tailored to your comfort levels
A starter movement or Clinical Pilates program and practical home advice
